— Rauner signs executive order targeting lawmaker conflicts of interest in property tax appeals – Greg Bishop (DIERSEN: I should write a book about the tremendous opposition that I encountered to get my home’s assessed valuation reduced during the 1980s and 1990s. Ultimately, the Property Tax Appeal Board ruled in my favor.)
https://www.ilnews.org/news/state_politics/rauner-signs-executive-order-targeting-lawmaker-conflicts-of-interest-in/article_221f558a-fc85-11e7-99bd-134c1f9a3880.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In order to fight high property taxes under the current system, Rauner said homeowners have to hire politically connected law firms, like the one where longtime House Speaker Michael Madigan works. “No one who sets tax policy, no one who has an influence to increase taxes on one hand should be in a position where they financially benefit from fighting about property taxes and try to get them reduced on the other hand,” Rauner said.)
